Effect of Nebraska Floods on Beef (and crops)

A local farm near me shared this article on Facebook so I thought I’d post it here:https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-03-28/many-million-calves-lost-nebraska-beef-prices-escalate-dramatically-coming-monthsArticle states that as many as a million calves have been lost so far because of flooding and that: “This is already the worst agricultural disaster in modern American history, and the National Weather Service is telling us that there will be more catastrophic flooding throughout the middle portion of the nation for the next two months.”It goes on to mention crops like wheat, soy, and corn were also destroyed (not like that’s relevant to this subreddit but it’s still important to know) and suggests we stock up on beef right now.This is just tragic and I can’t imagine what it’s like being a farmer right now in the Midwest.
